Barbara Rossi BEng MSc PhD MAS

Barbara Rossi joined the University of Oxford in March 2019 as Associate Professor and Tutorial Fellow in Engineering Science (Structures & Mechanics). Prior to this, she was an associate professor in Engineering Technology at KU Leuven in Belgium, where she led a research group exploring the structural behaviour of metallic structures, with a special interest in stainless steel and harsh environments, where corrosion plays an important role. Over the last ten years she also branched into the research area of life-cycle analysis and sustainability appraisal of (metal) structures.

Today, Barbara leads the Sustainable Metal Structures Research Group at the University of Oxford. Her research focuses on the role of metals in structures to improve the construction sector sustainability and resilience. Her team studies materials such as ultra-high strength steel, stainless steel, aluminium, or a combination of these, used in structures such as bridges, windmills, radioactive waste disposal facility, and wastewater treatment plants. Advanced analytical and computational analysis are combined with experimental methods to perform both fundamental and applied research. Full-scale experiments are conducted on structures or part thereof in her former laboratory at KU Leuven and in the new Sustainable Metal Structures Laboratory, at Begbroke Science Park. 

In her free time, Barbara is fond of travelling, especially in Italy given her attachment to her family background. She also likes to design handicrafts incorporating various fabrics, precious metals and ceramics.

The research topics that Barbara pursued up to now concern the behaviour of metal (steel, stainless steel, aluminium) structures under different kinds of loads and environments. The research group’s approach considers structures holistically, with the final objective of reaching a highly efficient design while maintaining an acceptable level of reliability over the whole life-cycle. The group strives for a more rational use of next-generation metals in structures that are built with radically innovative processes.

The topics that are currently studied in the Sustainable Metal Structures Research Group involve:

• Lateral-torsional buckling of welded duplex and austenitic beams
• Mechanical behaviour of hybrid carbon-to-stainless steel welded joints under combined fatigue and corrosion, for bridges applications
• Mechanical behaviour of duplex welded connections in highly corrosive environment, for nuclear waste geological storage units
• Longevity and mechanical behaviour of stainless steels structures in wastewater treatment units
• Behaviour of wire-arc additive manufactured components when submitted to cyclic loading combined with corrosion
• Effective and sustainable construction project management
